I booked the rooms online based on reviews I saw here on TripAdvisor. The selling point was the motel, bar, and restaraunt on location so we could park the motorcycles then spend the evening eating, drinking, and socializing. We didn't want to be driving back and forth to town to find food and drinks. All the cabins were taken so we got 3 motel rooms. Yes, the rooms were a bit older, but they were clean, the bathroom was clean and the window unit AC worked well. I loved the pine panelling and vaulted ceiling with pine beams.
The best part, though, was the food. Outstanding. Chicken Marsala; pecan-crusted Walleye; and stuffed shrimp were what we ordered. The waitress was excellent and very friendly. The meal was about 16-18 dollars an entree ; but it was a Sunday night. It was worth it, and we didn't have to drive so we could enjoy drinks with our meal. The bar was great, too. Great selection of drinks; and Sarah entertained us with tales of the history of the resort.
We walked along the beach after dinner, talked to other guests, toured one of the cabins. There were alot of families cooking out and kids playing on the beach and in the lake. There's an arcade for the bigger kids, and a sunroom at the end of the motel rooms where they have games and paperbacks for guests.
I'm conflicted about the peacocks. I like the novelty of them. They are pretty to see walking around; but they do leave droppings and feathers everywhere, and some of them roost in trees above parked cars...so you can imagine what might happen. I'm so glad we didn't park the motorcycles under a tree.
The resort could use a little maintenance as it is older, but the rooms were an extremely reasonable rate and the other amenities make up for it
Overall, we had fun and would stay there again if passing through.
